How do laptops image themselves. Are you using IBM Rapid restore ?

No, somehow a Wake on Lan signal got sent out yesterday evening. IBMs have their own boot order for Wake on Lan which made them all boot to the network. That made them all reimage themselves. People got a nice surprise when they came in this morning.

I'm sure you'll be changing the boot sequence lol.

I'm on the Desktop team so we just fight the fires. I'm amazed that the people who run the PXE system just have it boot and go right into reimaging with no Menu or Yes/No prompt or anything. This was bound to happen.

Ah, well I am doing something special for Friday the 13th after all. I'm currently replaying through GTA: San Andreas. There's no blue jumpsuit, but I put CJ in a blue hoody, blue khakis, a hockey mask, hiking boots, and I chose the "bald" haircut (since Jason rotted all his hair off), and picked up a chainsaw. For the rest of the day on missions, I'm going to stick to killing people with the chainsaw whenever possible.

Continue working until 7pm-ish, then head on over to the gym for a couple of hours. Come home, watch tv, go to bed. I live such an exciting life...

i am on 4 different planes. Currently waiting to get on #2 in orlando, going to JFK. Then from JFK to chicago. There is a 20" widescreen in my checked luggage. Place your bets to see if it arrives undamaged.

Getting drunk after work and then meeting up with some friends to go bowling. Should be humerous since I haven't gone bowling in at least 4 months. Wonder how bad Wii bowling will have messed with me (no more throwing 290's - back to my normal 160's).
